Grease a large square or rectangle baking pan with oil.
Cook your pasta al dente, drain well, and set aside.
Meanwhile, make the sauce: Place the coconut milk, pumpkin, turmeric, thyme, garlic, and salt and pepper into the blender. I used my Vitamix. You can make this in a regular blender, but it make take a little time -- make sure you blend until very creamy and smooth.
Stir the sauce into the pasta, and pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.
Bake 30 minutes, then remove the pasta and switch the oven to the Broil setting.
Make the crumb topping: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl.
After 30 minutes in the oven, spread the crumb mixture all over the top of the pasta and broil for a few minutes, until the crumbs start to turn brown. Watch it carefully -- no burning allowed!
Enjoy!
